Does the part, on left of above pic, slide over spacers? When I mention slide, I mean the center part where the cables come to an end. Gyro tabs built on to the frame are rigid & don't move (up & down, only moves in same direction as frame). If a stem has them on it, they don't move (up & down, only moves same direction as stem). The center part (part that spins) has to slide up & down on something, & if on a threadless, there's no nut to hold the headset in place. I've seen gyro add ons that includes a center sleeve for spacing the stem away from the headset, but allows the stem to do it's clamping to the fork & onto the top of the headset.

Also, does anyone make a hollow bolt for a threadless headset that locks to the top cap/star nut, to allow a brake cable to go through the fork, so you can have front and rear brakes, but no cable tangles?

Tell them not to get you anything for Christmas, the bike you build yourself will be gift enough. That's the way I've been doing it in my house. Hard to justify anything for Christmas when 5 new bikes have come into the house this year.

Thanks for the advice, but got that covered. Now I'm checking for parts... !
